Remembering Oshkosh | F-22 Raptor Taxiing

Remembering Oshkosh | F-22 Raptor Taxiing   How often do you see an F-22 taxiing on grass? Well, it’s not.  This image was captured at Oshkosh while laying on my stomach. The 70-300mm zoom lens makes it easy to adjust focal length as the Raptor taxis down the taxiway.  Remember, 125mm with the 2.7 crop factor of the Nikon 1 V3 converts to 338mm.

The F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, single seat, twin-engine, all-weather, stealth, top line fighter.  It always gives an impressive performance. The F-22’s combination of stealth, aerodynamic performance, and situational awareness gives it unprecedented air combat capabilities.  For the whole story with all images, see Remembering Oshkosh | a 7 Image Story.
